The Lucas | 136 Shawmut Ave | South End

I know the conversation has occurred multiple times for this project, but something about it is growing one me as it develops. I've been seeing the progress slowly happening. I guess the excitement is more about how well this type of restoration is going to be executed.
 
Great pictures BeeLine...

The south facing apartments with church windows all have doors present. These aren't in the renderings on Page 1. Does anyone know if these are just Juliet balconies? Or are they really going to put in small balconies jutting out the church window?!

I like how nicely this is coming together. One element I'm skeptical of though is the little quasi-gothic cupola that's will go on top of the tower- just seems like a gratuitous distraction. Otherwise well executed, though...

I agree 100%. I'm thinking / hoping that gets dropped.

I guess its what you do when you change a church function to another program.

See 288 Walnut Street Newton. The new spire looks like cell antennas although it was done before such things began to stick to our buildings like barnacles.

ugh.

The rest of it looks nice so far, though.
 
Looks nice until the awkward spaceship lands on top of it.
 
God, that's a crazy rear end.

Are we so VE'd, we can't cover a horses ass with decent faux cladding?
